Check out top matching recipesThe "Pirovolikes" vineyard is located between the villages of Panorama and Amourgelles, in the municipality of Minoa Pediados, Heraklion Prefecture. Despite its mountainous character, the area is particularly fertile, with extensive cultivation of horticultural crops, vines and olive trees. The Amourgelles Dam, which was built a few years ago, has considerably contributed to this.
Apart from the Dam which has evolved into an important wetland, visitors may also explore the area’s past that goes back to the Byzantine times. The ruined Byzantine settlement of Kamares is worth a visit and so are the churches in Amourgelles village that have been preserved since the Venetian rule.
